Mr W J Russell Seeks Maps and Better Roads Coverage
Visiting Athens, I commend Clarke county roads and the progress in improving travel toward Winder and Atlanta. Clarke county prosperity will repay investment and more trade will reach Athens. I urge the Banner to publish state and county road maps for travelers and towns, replacing calendars with useful Georgia maps. Athens, Ga., August 28, 1909.
